The first Art Talk by Art Blue happend in the Obscur Hall on January 14th, 2016, 1.00 PM SLT. It was about Transformative Art. Special guest was Art Oluja (Artistik Oluja). Art Oluja had a LEA grant running from July 1st to December 31, 2015. See her SURREAL TOWER in a short teaser at Youtube https://youtu.be/HsFtnd5B0YY

Become a patron of the Arts by joining the Surreal patrons art group and support the art talks by stepping by. There will be an opening and closing performance themed on “GOLD” by particle artist Venus Adored.

We give you an idea how an Art Talk looks like, just by an example. The Art Talk about Fractal Art with Gem Preis on April 7th, 2016:

[2016/04/07 12:29] Second Life: NavahDreams (NavahDreams) is now known as Juliette Surrealdreaming Host. -> for better reading now just “Juliette.”

We took out some of the greetings and placed them at the end of the log – to get the story more easy to read.

[2016/04/07 13:00] Juliette: I am sorry the “real” Juliette has no internet and therefore I am stepping in and post what was met to prompt by her. Enjoy the play. Please share this information for late arrivals of your friends so I dont have to repeat. We are a small group today as the invitations could not be sent as usual. Thank you for understanding.

Juliette: Welcome you all to the – and I quote Troy Tempest from Universal Gazette – “to the most stunning Art Talk ever in History”. It will be about the repetition of LIFE – OF FRACTALS – FRACTALS IN US?

Juliette: I welcome Gem Preiz in the reconstructed Surreal Art Gallery and Obsur Hall. He is unique. His avatar key has become a legend: 5f9bf40c-ec18-461e-b56c-4424f3a5f002

Juliette: Time travelers still head to his Surreal Tower made 115 years ago by using his avatar UUID –

[2016/04/07 13:01] Neruval: Juliette? I have not changed time until now! We are still in the year 2016. To be exact April 7th, 20.01 UTC.

[2016/04/07 13:02] Juliette: oh, gosh, darn! Thank you owl for telling. So I have to say that time travelers in the future will still head to Gem´s Surreal Tower in 115 years.

[2016/04/07 13:02] Neruval: Correct! Exactly 334 years after Universal Gazette was founded in Philadelphia. Let me change the headline on the actual issue to “Juliette booted in her Surreal talk”

[2016/04/07 13:02] Juliette winks, “if you wish, but it sounds odd. You are in charge for the correct timing. Is there Venus Adored around?”

[2016/04/07 13:02] Neruval cracks a nut and eats it “I have eaten better as Jami Mills was still here and with her never a glitch happened … – I see Venus, she seems to be ready.”

[2016/04/07 13:03] Juliette: sighs, “I give up. We need for this Art Talk a connection to Art Blue. Neruval you told me he is now in a blackstar and Venus will show us where.”

[2016/04/07 13:03] Neruval: I will give Echo Starship a shout so he blends in his sound Goodbye Shining Blackstar. I will use the energy from the Blackstar for a temporary transition of Art Blue.

[2016/04/07 13:03] Juliette Surrealdreaming Host (NavahDreams Resident): This would be great. Let´s enjoy the show of Venus. It takes 7 minutes.

Video …. Will follow here

[2016/04/07 13:20] Juliette: Thank you Venus for the great show …..

[2016/04/07 13:20] Gem Preiz: thank you ㋡

[2016/04/07 13:20] Wizardoz Chrome: Grazie venus 🙂

Wizardoz Chrome (Q-Translator b:it->en): Thanks venus:)

[2016/04/07 13:20] Juliette: I see Art Blue is just a ghost in a coffin! What have you done owl!

[2016/04/07 13:20] Neruval: Sorry Art Blue did not want to join the Art Talk by showing his body. He says he stays in transition and he has better things to do. He is now visiting Nefertiti. The truth on her will change history he says.

[2016/04/07 13:20] νє ηυѕ (Venus Adored): your all wellcome…i did not hear the music in the beginning

[2016/04/07 13:21] Jo Williams: pretty sky here

[2016/04/07 13:21] Mikati Slade: is it something scifi roleplaying?

[2016/04/07 13:21] Juliette: Darn, I knew it why he left after LEA8 closed. It was not for the Surreal Towers to go with, not for the Art! Is he at least willing to do the interview with Gem Preiz?

[2016/04/07 13:22] Neruval: He is! I have set up his future AUUID. He speaks now … — connecting, I turn silent.

[2016/04/07 13:22] 5e3b3e357657440a84bff9da90ee24e (Art Blue): I ask you blunt. Are you fractal?

[2016/04/07 13:22] AlexandreLois1: I art blue revive with the help of magic

[2016/04/07 13:23] Gem Preiz: unfortunately not

[2016/04/07 13:23] Mandel Solano: yes we should go and see them at LEA26

[2016/04/07 13:23] Gem Preiz: I would love that Gem would be a repeated pattern of what I am in RL.

Gem Preiz: But he is significantly optimized compared with me

Gem Preiz: However we could imagine Gem to have an avatar in a TL (third life) metaverse inside SL.

Gem Preiz: It would be something like repeated images in a couple of facing mirrors.

Gem Preiz: That would become interestingly fractal.

[2016/04/07 13:24] 5e3b3e357657440a84bff9da90ee24e (Art Blue): And before you have been what? I heard you worked as an engineer and you live now in Paris in sight of the Louvre where your Surreal Tower will be shown in the future.

Gem Preiz: who developed the concept of fractalism in their installations or scultpures

Gem Preiz: and thank you for the scoop about the Louvre, laughs

[2016/04/07 13:27] 5e3b3e357657440a84bff9da90ee24e (Art Blue): I was teasing you, only the owl knows the future. But I know your tower is planned to be shown at the Santorini Bienniale in August 2016 in the IMMERSIVIA category. Will you show other pieces as well?

[2016/04/07 13:27] Gem Preiz: yes

Gem Preiz: I plan to show “Metropolis”

Gem Preiz: the exhibition on the theme of overcrowded cities that I showed in SL last year

Gem Preiz: on which you work the framing, the view angle, the colour filters

Gem Preiz: in order to give to the scene an atmosphere evoking what your eye and imagination have seen

[2016/04/07 13:37] 5e3b3e357657440a84bff9da90ee24e (Art Blue): Before I prompt my next question as it is a little tricky I want to give the audience room for some questions. Juliette will you take over?

[2016/04/07 13:37] Juliette: sure ….

Juliette: Do you guys have any questions?

[2016/04/07 13:38] 5e3b3e357657440a84bff9da90ee24e (Art Blue): ((Juliette is today simulated by a helper, she has no internet …))

[2016/04/07 13:38] Juliette: Feel free to ask Gem

[2016/04/07 13:38] AlexandreLois1: Вы можете оценить мой фрактал ?

AlexandreLois1: You can appreciate my fractal?

[2016/04/07 13:39] 5e3b3e357657440a84bff9da90ee24e (Art Blue): ((and tip our performers Venus and Echo. I will double the tips you made in total after the talk))

[2016/04/07 13:39] Gem Preiz: if you create fractals alexandre, I would be happy to see them

[2016/04/07 13:44] Juliette: Oh, you, no! Art left us. Nervual? Did you safe him like it is written in the short story “The Swimmer”?

[2016/04/07 13:45] Cyberphoria shouts: like in the Swimmer where I was killed! I kill you faster!

[2016/04/07 13:45] Neruval: De-louser

[2016/04/07 13:45] Juliette: Cyberphoria is gone?

[2016/04/07 13:45] Neruval: I was faster. I know the future. Now I take Art Blue´s faked AUUID off. It gave him sufficient time for being at the art talk.

[2016/04/07 13:45] Art Blue: I have to hurry and hide myself in a water moon. At DreamHack in Austin, Texas the bets are moving up that another counterstriker may track me down.

[2016/04/07 13:45] Cyberphoria Resident: is offline.

[2016/04/07 13:46] Juliette: This was the Art Talk. The end a little harsh, but no Art Blue no Art Talk. Or …?

Juliette: Gem? Would you step in and guide us to your tower at Penning? There is a Metaharper CAM flight ready, made by RL students of Art Blue which takes about 5 minutes and then we enter the tower and have a visit.

[2016/04/07 13:46] Gem Preiz: sure

[2016/04/07 13:46] Juliette: Thank you all for coming and thank you Venus once more and Echo Starship for playing live at Surreal Art Gallery.

[2016/04/07 13:46] Juliette: ((End of the Monthly Art Talk))
